Prince William forced to have difficult conversation with George, Charlotte and Louis

No matter who you are or what family you come from, being a parent is hard work, and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are not immune.

Sometimes raising children means having to have some difficult conversations, which Prince William and Kate are all too familiar with - particularly with their eldest children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte.

In fact, the Cambridges recently revealed they'd been forced to have some uncomfortable conversations with their children, after eight-year-old George and six-year-old Charlotte started asking questions about Putin's war on Ukraine.

Last month Wills and Kate visited the Ukrainian Culture Centre in London, where they explained how their kids had been coming home from school and asking about the war.

"Ours [children] have been coming home asking all about it. They are obviously talking about it with their friends at school," William explained, before adding that he'd been forced to: "Choose my words carefully to explain what is going on."

While there, the Duke and Duchess both pledged their support for the people of Ukraine, wearing badges displaying the national flag, and listening to people share their experiences of the ongoing atrocities.

"It's very alien to see this in Europe. We are all behind you," 39-year-old William told them. "We feel so useless."

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky later took to Twitter to thank the pair for their support, writing: "Olena and I are grateful to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge that at this crucial time, when Ukraine is courageously opposing Russia's invasion, they stand by our country and support our brave citizens. Good will triumph.
